William W. Johnstone
was born in Southern Missouri, the youngest of four children. Raised with
strong moral and family values by his minister father, and well-tutored by his
school teacher mother, Bill quit school when he was fifteen. He was kicked out
of the French Foreign Legion for being under age and joined the carnival. But
still valuing his education, he returned home to finish his high school education
in 1957.
He went on to work as
a deputy sheriff, did a hitch in the army, and began a career in radio
broadcasting, where he worked daily on his verbal and storytelling skills for
the next sixteen years on the air. Much of his knowledge of the early frontier
began from listening to family experiences told to him by his Grandparents.
His love of animals is
displayed in many of his books as well as finding several Huskies and Malamutes
roaming freely around his home. As an avid gun and knife collector, hours of
research are devoted to the types of weapons commonly used during the eras of
his writings.
One little known fact,
is his love for music … from “rockabilly to classical”. Bill has written and
recorded several songs which may be released for his fans in the future.
He started writing in
1970, but it wasn’t until late 1979 when The Devil’s Kiss was published that
William W. Johnstone became a full-time writer. Since that time he has written
over two hundred books in a variety of genres including action, suspense,
western, science fiction, and horror. Two of his books, Eagle Down and Dagger,
were written under the pen name of William Mason.
To the true William W.
Johnstone reader, he is a best-selling author admired for the great diversity
in his writing talents. Though most known for his western adventures, Johnstone
was also a visionary writer. His prophetic stories within his Ashes Series,
Code Name Series, and his science fiction books, predicting the Gulf War and
the political climate we live in today, was ahead of its time when it was
written.

Each night they emerged from the murky
depths of the swamp to claim another victim—a lovely, innocent, fertile female
who would be carried off in huge hairy arms and plunged into a nightmare world
of terror. Her screams would echo in the darkness. Her face would contort in
the throes of horror and pain. But once taken, each became a mother of an
unholy child, a link in the chain of madness and evil, a spawn to carry on the
devil’s name!

It was like any other spring day in the
quiet, peaceful community of Lapeer Parish, Louisiana. But for Sheriff Vic
Ransonet it was the beginning of a nightmare. People were disappearing without
a trace. Animals were being eaten right down to the bone. Lush fertile fields
of crops were being stripped bare. But the sheriff knew the evil that lurked in
the barns, sheds, and homes of the sleepy parish. He had seen the creatures
with his own eyes. He had heard the clicking of their jaws, the signal that
they were on the move to feed their ravenous appetites. And if he couldn’t stop
them, then every man, woman, and child would die, and Lapeer Parish would be
wiped off the map.
